Hey guys, so having access to MLS has given me even more access to certain software programs that can help identify absentee owners (in & out of state).

Agents/brokers like selling property to Buyers they know will always perform. (3) do not assume the Agent/Broker will do the diligence work for you… This is part of having your stuff together – make sure that you are doing your work up front, the Agent/Broker is only there to facilitate the purchase.Baystate Auctions: this is an auction website, we check on this site dailyTowneauction.com: this is an auction website, we check on this site dailyMLS search: we have access to MLS, IF you do NOT feel free to email us we can connect you with an Agent on our team that will set you up with a feed for a preset search.

I also have access to a lot of house information which is very helpful when researching properties

But I am tired of renting, and am thinking of ways to deploy my cash, build equity instead of paying rent, and still have access to funds for a downpayment for a business acquisition.The big assumption of course is that I am able to buy a business near the house I would buy.

I recommend a Post Compliance Lead Determination (PCAD) every 5 years or so.Here's the law (emphasis added by me):460.100: Duty of Owner(s) of Residential Premises (B) Whenever any residential premises containing dangerous levels of lead in paint, plaster or other accessible structural material undergoes a change of ownership and as a result a child younger than six years old will become or will continue to be a resident therein, the new owner shall have 90 days after becoming the owner to obtain a Letter of Full Compliance or a Letter of Interim Control, except that if a child younger than six years old who is lead poisoned resides therein, the owner shall not be eligible for interim control, unless the Director grants a waiver pursuant to 105 CMR 460.100(A)(3).

Hi @Christopher Choy One way to do it, that I've been hearing more and more, is to invest in a high appreciation location, and then access the equity that builds up using a HELOC, which you can use to invest in a cashflow friendly areas, like Edmonton or Calgary. 

Not sure if it has changed since you last looked, but AirDNA gives free access to the "Rentalizer".

This is a very easy and time-efficient way to pool money without a security exemption if you can do it.There seems to a trade between how much control you’re willing to give up and the amount of cash you’ll have access to.

If you delead, and maintain the standard, you will be in the clear.Here's the law (emphasis added by me):460.100: Duty of Owner(s) of Residential Premises (B) Whenever any residential premises containing dangerous levels of lead in paint, plaster or other accessible structural material undergoes a change of ownership and as a result a child younger than six years old will become or will continue to be a resident therein, the new owner shall have 90 days after becoming the owner to obtain a Letter of Full Compliance or a Letter of Interim Control, except that if a child younger than six years old who is lead poisoned resides therein, the owner shall not be eligible for interim control, unless the Director grants a waiver pursuant to 105 CMR 460.100(A)(3).

All my life, my financial aspirations have been to max out my retirement accounts, but now I am trying to access my capital to get into real estate.
